Pipeliner Notes

Thank you to everyone who has written to me and left messages on the board.About the word “skirl” as in “the skirling of the pipes, Louise of the Caithness CraftCollective podcast said that it can be used to illustrate the sound of a screaming of a bairn such as, She is fair skirlin’.What’s wrong?

I read notes from Shelly in Atlanta and knitternurse. A tip regarding using two needles of different sizes: Knitternurse wrote that only the right needle needs to be the proper size.

Moz wrote about my wool label on Bob’s Norwegian Setesdal Sweater.To stabilize the label while writing on it with a parker, iron freezer paper to the backside before writing on it.

I tell a funny story about Bob correcting me when I used the term "spit join".

Nature Notes

Plant a tree if you can. Trees are important for all wildlife. Trees can keep your house cooler in the summer.

I read a (rather long, sorry!) poem. Plant a Tree by Lucy Larcom. "He who plants a tree, plants a hope." I love that!

I chat with Willie and Jose McVean about The Netherlands, Dutch Pipes and Drums, Willie's home country of Scotland, his recent knighthood distinction, and some knitting! Jose's mother knitted kilt hose for the entire pipe band. (photo of hose coming soon!)

Thanks to Dutch Pipes and Drums for permission to play their music on Knitting Pipeline. You may purchase CD's and DVD's at www.dutchpipesanddrums.nl. This week's selection is "Arrival" which is Track 2 on In Concert.

I didn't have a chance to listen to this episode yet (too busy...), but I just want to let you know that I wrote a comment on the French iTunes store after my first time listening. You can add one more comment for your podcast ;)
